Question

Is there a way to HTML encode a string (NSString) in Objective-C, something along the lines of Server.HtmlEncode in .NET?

Answer 1

Swift 4

extension String {
    var xmlEscaped: String {
        return replacingOccurrences(of: "&", with: "&")
            .replacingOccurrences(of: "\"", with: """)
            .replacingOccurrences(of: "'", with: "'")
            .replacingOccurrences(of: ">", with: ">")
            .replacingOccurrences(of: "<", with: "<")
    }
}
